Avatar, la película que hace tiempo James Cameron está preparando ya se sabía que iría a las salas digitales en 3D.

Pero se confirmó en estos días que también se podrá ver en las pantallas de Imax en 3D.

Fox la tiene programada en la Argentina para el 17 de diciembre del 2009, pero ya me arriesgo a decir que la pasan para el 1° de Enero del 2010

Este es el Teaser trailer

Este es el comunicado oficial de Imax y la Fox

LOS ANGELES, CA, November 6, 2008 – IMAX Corporation (NASDAQ: IMAX; TSX: IMX) and Twentieth Century Fox today announced that they have reached agreement on material terms to release the highly anticipated 3D motion picture Avatar in IMAX®3D simultaneously with the motion picture’s premiere in conventional 3D theatres on December 18, 2009. Avatar is directed and written by Academy Award Winner James Cameron and stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez and Sigourney Weaver. Cameron will also produce with his Lightstorm Entertainment partner, Jon Landau. Avatar will be digitally re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience®.

“Our goal with Avatar is to revolutionize live-action 3D moviemaking, and I have no doubt that it will look and sound incredible in IMAX 3D,” said director James Cameron. “The larger field of view and powerful surround sound of an IMAX® theatre will completely immerse the audience in a way that cannot be experienced anywhere else.”

“We are delighted to be releasing Avatar in all available theatrical formats, and by including the premium IMAX 3D format, we can give consumers the entire spectrum of choice at the box office,” said Bruce Snyder, President, Domestic Distribution, Twentieth Century Fox. “The IMAX theatre network is increasingly becoming an important part of our distribution strategy, as it continues to expand with its new digital projection system.”

“Avatar is one of the most anticipated movies of 2009 and it is a powerful addition to our film slate,” said IMAX Co-CEO’s Richard L. Gelfond and Bradley J. Wechsler. “We are particularly pleased with Twentieth Century Fox’s increasing interest in the IMAX theatre network, which is largely fueled by the rollout of our digital projection systems and IMAX’s track record of strong box office performance.”

“James Cameron is a genius filmmaker. His vision and 3D expertise make Avatar a natural fit for IMAX and we believe it will resonate with our audiences as well as the millions of James Cameron fans across the globe,” added Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment. “Every aspect of this film was meticulously designed for 3D, so when audiences experience this revolutionary film in an IMAX 3D theatre, they will feel as if they are actually IN the movie.
